i was playing with virtual routing on openbsd4.9 recently first results using vlans are impressive now i am asking myself if virtual routing is possible - without using dedicated physical interfaces for each routing domain - without using dedicated vlans for each routing domain
idea behind this: i have a network appliance with 3 interface (int/ext/mgmt) i want to configure 5 routing domains i have limited number of physical interfaces i do not want to use vlans so what i would need in this case is something like a virtual ethernet interface - which can be bound to a physical ethernet interface (similar to vlans) - and the virtual virtual ethernet interface should be assignable to a routing domain any ideas? guess aliases of an interface are not assignable to a routing domain...(?) maybe something in progress in the dev tree? many thanx /pat
